DoQs That Hunt Wolves.

The pack of stag-hounds recently
brought from Colorado and in use by the
Sun River Range Association is reported
doing good service in the wolf-killing
business, for which industry the dogs
were purchased. Six of the hounds
recently brought to bay double their
number of wolves and engaged them in
battle, doing to the death all but two of
the sheep and calf destroyers. Not few
single combats have occurred, resulting
in uniform victory for the dog, which
has the advantage of ticetncss, pluck and
strength. 4 pair of hounds can do up a
wolf in pretty short order. One will
toss the wolf in the air, and before the
astOnished animal is again on the ground
he is caught at neck and loin and torn
asunder The hounds are fed no meat
their diet being confined to corn bread
and buttermilk in most part. The Range
Association are satisfied they have made
a good investment in these wolf eXteTmi-

glass, and sometimes red lines are painted
on the inner surface, to simulate the

like a chapter from the story of Aladdin.
Strange as it may oppcar, the oil wells of
this limited district have been worth
more than the great Comstock lode of
precious metal in Nevada. The record
shows that 53, coo wells in all have been
bored at q cost of 5000, 600, 600, and
these have yielded 80, 600, 900 barrels of
crude oil, worth at the wells 5000, 600,
